Hamilton, NY — The exhibition ‘Latin American painters in New York City: Global art in the year 2000’ is on view through June 4 in two 51³Ô¹ÏÍø galleries, the Longyear Museum of Anthropology in Alumni Hall and the Gallery of the Department of Art & Art History in Dana Arts Center. Admission is free and open to the public Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. For information or admission at other times, call 315-228-7184.
The exhibition is curated by Carol Ann Lorenz, assistant professor of art and art history, in consultation with New York City artist Jaime Lallemand. Works by eleven emerging and established artists, whose origins are Latin American but who have lived and worked in New York City for varying amounts of time, are highlighted. All of the artists acknowledge the formative experiences of growing up in Latin America but have left their home countries for art education, exposure to the great masters, and opportunities to show their work abroad. The exhibition shows an incredible range of styles employed by the artists, demonstrating that there is no single type of Latin American art. Through their work, the artists define their own identities, both as individuals and as members of multiple communities. In effect, their art community is global.
